The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method was ...

Using the quadratic formula is another method of solving quadratic equations that will not factorise. You will need to learn this formula, as well as understanding how to use it. The first solution is ...

Everyone learns (and some readers maybe still remember) the quadratic formula. It’s a pillar of algebra and allows you to solve equations like Ax 2 +Bx+C=0. But just because you’ve used it doesn’t ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 47, No. 3 (Mar., 1996), pp. 457-462 (6 pages) In this paper we present a new branch and bound algorithm for solving a class of integer quadratic ...

The quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(\frac{(-6 ...
